Quick Guide by Zeeve: Launching our Website Validator with a Single Click
In the ever-evolving world of blockchain technology, setting up a validator node can often be a daunting task, especially for non-technical users. However, Zeeve, a leading platform, is revolutionising the process by offering a straightforward, one-click node setup for Shardeum.
1. **Creating a Zeeve Account** To get started, simply visit the Zeeve platform and sign up for an account. This will grant you access to all the features necessary for node deployment.
2. **Selecting a Subscription Plan** Once you've created your account, choose a suitable subscription plan. Prices start from $40 per month, covering the node infrastructure and management, requiring no coding, hardware, or VPS setup from your end.
3. **Configuring Your Validator Node** After selecting a plan, bring your SHM tokens for staking, set a password for your validator node during setup, and use Zeeve’s intuitive UI to initiate deployment by clicking “Create Now” after entering the required information. Zeeve will automatically provision your node, a process that typically takes around 30 minutes.
4. **Waiting for Node Provisioning** During this time, the node status will show as “Provisioning”. When ready, the status changes to “Ready” in green, indicating your validator node is fully operational.
5. **Accessing the Validator Dashboard** On the Zeeve dashboard, locate your node entry, click “Manage” and then the “Validator UI” button. Enter your previously set password to access the Shardeum Validator Dashboard.
6. **Monitoring and Managing Your Node** Through the dashboard, you gain real-time visibility into node performance, uptime, resource usage, and network status. Zeeve provides 24/7 automated monitoring and assistance to ensure minimal downtime and ongoing eligibility for rewards.
7. **Maintaining Your Node** To keep your node active, maintain your Zeeve subscription and ensure that your SHM stake remains above the minimum required for network rewards and active status. Note that activation in the validator set may vary based on network conditions.
This streamlined one-click setup removes technical barriers and lets you operate a validator node efficiently via Zeeve. For visual guidance, Zeeve and Shardeum also provide a video tutorial showing these steps in detail. With Zeeve, contributing to network decentralization and earning SHM rewards has never been easier.
